Delhi traffic police warn that a planned sit‑in on Kishan Ghat Road on Thursday could increase congestion on the Rajghat‑Kishan Ghat corridor between 1 pm and 4 pm.
The Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory on Thursday, indicating that a protest slated for Kishan Ghat Road may disrupt vehicular movement on the Rajghat‑Kishan Ghat stretch and adjoining routes. The police anticipate a surge in traffic pressure from 13:00 to 16:00 hours as demonstrators gather at the site.
Motorists traveling between Rajghat and Kishan Ghat are advised to seek alternative corridors or allow extra travel time. The advisory also mentions potential spill‑over effects on nearby streets, including the JLN Marg, which could experience intermittent slowdowns.
Authorities have not specified the number of participants or the exact nature of the demonstration, but they urge commuters to stay updated through official channels and follow any on‑ground instructions from traffic personnel.
The traffic police will deploy additional personnel at critical junctions to manage flow and ensure safety. Drivers are requested to remain patient and cooperate with redirection measures, if any, to minimise inconvenience.
This advisory follows a pattern of occasional road blockades in the capital, prompting the police to pre‑emptively inform the public and mitigate congestion risks.
